Just stumbled upon a bit of a review on it. Thought someone on here might be interested.
It sounds like a fast wee car, 5.4s 0-60 
Also says its faster top end than a M3 or RS4..............Is this possibly because there restricted - idiots 
Im not sold on the stickers or green band on the wheels............which asides from some tuning parts, lower suspension, different wheels makes it no different from a normal VXR?
£22.5k sounds steep, std cars £16k? Think you could do a bit of tunning to get the 230bhp for that price differential.

You'd be hard pushed to get those mods, fitted, for 6.5k IMO.

Im not sure whats been done tbh, but I thought they were around 200bhp to begin with, so 30bhp gain isnt loads for the money??
*Although the test cr had 260bhp (why would they do that?)

It's not just lowered with springs though, the coilovers alone cost 1k, it has an LSD, stage 3 which includes full Milltek system which another 1k, the wheels with decent tyres 800 quid so when you start adding it up...
Also, Vauxhalls OWN creation is nearing completion.

Im not an expert guys, I just click & paste & say what I see
Looking at the list Adam posted, theres alot of bits there & I can see where the price comes from.
I'd want it without Unique VXR-R Detailing & Badges, & without Unique Green Lip please
